The Birgitta tie-front blouse is a lovely style that suits so many occasions. Dress it up with smart trousers or a skirt, or create contrast with jeans and boots/sneakers. The fabric, which is so-called leftover fabric, is of incredible quality from the Swedish shirt company Eton, which makes men's shirts. I love the feeling of creating something feminine from this fabric.
The style differs slightly from the sewing pattern. It is slightly more oversized (check the measurements), so if you are between two sizes, you can go down. The sleeve has a lovely width and a stylish length with a wide cuff that you can fold down if you want it longer.
Birgitta is now available in two different colourways: this one in dark blue, camel, and cerise checks, as well as a grey checked one in two shades.
